Thanks, and see you in the chat room next Monday at 5,
Lisa

If you enjoy reading books of all types by a wide variety of authors,
you
won't want to miss the Accessible World Tek Talk online event Monday,
April

about a unique online library that serves people who are blind,

vision, or have other print-related disabilities that make it
difficult for
them to read. The collection includes nearly 32,000 books in English and
Spanish and, via a partnership with the National Federation of the
Blind's
Newsline service, some 150 daily newspapers and other periodicals made
available as electronic downloads. Additionally, the virtual
audience will
be provided updates to the organization's ongoing initiatives and, more
especially, will learn how to join this thriving community of book
lovers.
Following the presentation, there will be sufficient time for
questions and
comments from the audience. So, tell all your friends to join you.
There are
plenty of seats for everyone!
